Between 1934 and October 1972 there was a route 100 operating between Barking and Beckton Gas Works. [1]
The current route 100 commenced operating on 10 June 1989 from Liverpool Street station to Shadwell via Aldgate, Tower Hill and Wapping. [2] [3] It was operated by Leaside Buses' Clapton garage. [3] On 24 February 1990, it was transferred to East London's Bow garage, and again on 26 September 1992 to Stratford. [3]
Upon being re-tendered, it was retained by East London with a new contract commencing on 28 February 1998. [3] Route 100 was extended from Liverpool Street to Elephant & Castle via London Wall and Blackfriars Bridge on 18 September 1999. [3]
When next tendered, it passed to Travel London's Walworth garage on 18 September 2004. [4]

When next tendered, the contract to operate the route was awarded to London General with the handover occurring on 20 September 2014. [9] [10]
In September 2016, Transport for London opened a consultation on changing the route to only operate between Wapping and the Museum of London. [11] The route was amended to operate between Shadwell and the London Wall on 8 April 2017 with route 388 replacing it to Elephant & Castle. [12]
As part of TfL's Central London Buses Review, route 100 was extended from London Wall to St Paul's station. [13]
In February 2020, a trial started to increase awareness of the electric buses introduced on the route by playing a warning sound when the bus is at low speed, stationary or reversing. [14]
